Installing SlippiHUD
To get started you should probably head over and install node https://github.com/SSBDoppler/slippi-hud/blob/master/tut/node.png
Nodecg 2.6.1 (which this project runs on) currently requires node 18 or higher.
A LTS version should work, currently version 20 is recommended.
Click that button and run the nodejs installer.
Next you'll want to install nodecg. I reccomend using command line for this part. Its the easiest option.
First press the windows button on your keyboard, then type cmd
You should see something like this

What I and the nodecg website recommend is using nodecg cli for the rest of the install, it's quick and basically painless.
First you'll type into the CMD
npm install --global nodecg
Setting the global tag saves so much hassel.
Next you'll navigate to the folder you want to install nodecg in. I reccomend d: drive.
so you'll type
d:
Followed by a
mkdir nodecg
this will make the folder you install nodecg into
Next
cd nodecg
CMD is now in nodecg (I used nodecj because I already have nodecg and you can't make a folder that already exists with mkdir) https://github.com/SSBDoppler/slippi-hud/blob/master/tut/cmd2.png
you'll now want to (currently nodecg-cli fails to install 2.x builds due to a dependency update)
nodecg setup 2.6.1
followed by
nodecg install SSBDoppler/slippi-hud
https://github.com/SSBDoppler/slippi-hud/blob/master/tut/cmd3.png
Followed with
nodecg defaultconfig slippi-hud
Now the node package is installed and ready to start! (Don't close cmd, you still need it to run the program.)
